Getting Started with Events

Last updated: February 25, 2026

WeGive Events lets organizations create ticketed or free events, manage registrations, collect payments, and track attendance — all within the WeGive platform.

What You Can Do with Events

  • Create events with one or more ticket types (paid or free)

  • Control who can register (public, approval required, or invite-only)

  • Collect custom information from registrants

  • Require waivers before registration completes

  • Check in attendees via QR code

  • Send confirmation and status-update emails automatically

Where to Find Events

Events live under Engagements > Events in the left navigation.

Before You Create an Event

Make sure the following are in place:

  • The organization has Events enabled on their account. If Events doesn't appear in the nav, contact support to enable it.

  • Payment processing is configured if the event will have paid tickets.

  • Any waiver templates or DocuSign envelopes are ready if waivers are required.
